Recall your inspiration for becoming a social worker. That inspiration, even if localized to focus on a particular population or need, has the potential to ripple outward and effect positive social change on a wider scale. In the early weeks of this course, you were oriented to the role of policy in delivery of services and how the goals you set for a client or for yourself are part of a larger context.
For your Final Project, due in Week 10, you choose a specific policy to analyze in all its various contexts—and possibilities. Those possibilities include conceptualizing how a goal for change can evolve into a far-reaching policy, potentially advancing inspiration into advocacy.
In this Assignment, you take the first steps for your Final Project by identifying a social problem you wish to tackle and considering how goals for addressing that problem can lead to opportunity.
To Prepare
· If you have a social problem or policy in mind that you want to explore, you may use that.
· Other options to choose from include but are not limited to:
· Policies affected by changes in marriage laws
· Policies to address veterans’ issues, homelessness, domestic violence, healthcare, or other contemporary issues.
· In addition to referencing the Learning Resources, reflect on your fieldwork or other professional experience.
·
Note: Aspects of this Assignment can be considered preparatory for the Week 10 Assignment, but you will need to further develop any items here for that Week 10 Assignment.
